Default Preparing for Power Outages?

You know what's interesting light source. Propane fueled Coleman
lantern. I loaned one to a friend, when his power was off a
couple weeks ago. Puts out both heat and light. Both useful when
it's near zero F outdoors, and blowing cold. However, flash
lights are better for hurricanes in Florida when it's already
hot.

I'm envious. I'd love to have a big pile of candles.


another occasion when flash lights are better is during/after
earthquakes. You don't want the canlde falling over when the next
aftershock hits.
